Green extends to the front (to save on gold paint maybe?):

But not the same case for the red:

EDIT - unless it's got something to be with the green one being a GNE repaint, and the red one being a manufacturer paint job?

Wonder how long it'll stay at each depot for?

Then again, I've always quite liked the sound of the 4 cylinder StreetDeck, but that could be because I've literally done thousands of miles on them so I'm just used to it!
Plus, I've always preferred the sound of the gearbox over the engine

On the other foot for all time, would either have to be a Leyland Olympian (Cummins L10 & Voith) or a Volvo Olympian (Volvo D10-245 & ZF)
